Social Innovation Learning

Capability for our time.

The challenges of our time — climate change, social fragmentation, technology acceleration, extremism — demand we rethink how we live and how our public systems operate. They demand social innovation.

Social innovation practices — like co-design, social R&D, impact networks, and peer-to-peer — are proven ways to navigate complexity, unlock creativity, and shift power to people with lived experience.

Yet take-up of these practices in Australia is limited and our ability to tackle complex social challenges remains underdeveloped as a result.

TACSI's Learning Hub is our contribution to the widespread uptake of social innovation - an initiative to codify social innovation practices, share them and a program of scholarships to makes sure social innovation truly is for everyone.

Beyond the Learning Hub we're seeking to establish a national fund to scale access to social innovation skills — through scholarships, fellowships and new learning experiences for professionals and school aged children.
